Throw a party that guests will never forget by choosing a memorable theme: the 1920s. The "Roaring Twenties" was a time of gangsters and flappers, prohibition and art deco. The fashion and design elements of the era are distinctive and unforgettable. Celebrate the decade with 1920s theme party locations and create an event that will live long in the memories of all the guests who attend. - Make the party more intimate for guests by having it at home. Any house can become a 1920s theme party location with the right decorations and a little extra planning. Turn your parlor, basement or den into a 20s-era speakeasy, an underground club illegally serving liquor during the prohibition days. Have jazz music, common during the era, playing in the background. For added effect, assign a suit-clad man to admit visitors to the party through a door only be opened if they have the right password (a common speakeasy practice). Provide common drinks and beers to thirsty guests. To provide a real speakeasy atmosphere, set up a few casino gaming tables (use play money if gambling is illegal in your state) and award a door prize to the night's biggest winner.
- Search for a local bar designed and decorated in the popular art deco style, which was a staple style during the 1920s. Look for venues featuring natural woods, lamp shades made with colored glass and low ceilings. Rent out the bar for the night of the party. If possible, choose a location offering a full kitchen so you may hire a catering service or use the regular bar staff to provide food to the guests.
- Historic home museums often host weddings and other party events. Find one offering 20s-era architecture and decor and rent out the facility for the day and night of the party. Check with the venue to discover any special licensing or insurance you may need to provide if you plan to serve food and/or alcohol at the party. Generally, catering services will provide all necessary licenses and insurance when hired for a specific event.
- Hotels, particularly those catering to luxury, provide large ballroom areas that you can rent out for private events. Hotels will provide full banquet services and event staff will help to plan the party and keep the event running smoothly. A hotel will also offer ample parking for guests and some facilities may even provide valet services. Any guests who drink too much at the party can stay overnight in one of the hotel's room or taken to the doorman for a taxi ride home.
